Ed1Stop at Home

Ed1Stop is a great online service that your child can access from home.  From our School District Website, you can open the Frequent Links and then scroll down to Ed1Stop.  I have enclosed the Login and Password in your child's Homework Packet this week so that you can log-in at home and check it out.  I recommend "Brain Pop Jr." found under Curriculum Support, and any of the math or language arts games found under Textbooks.  We use many of these activities in our classroom during Centers, and the class seems to really enjoy them.  Have fun exploring!! -Mr. Linnet

Animal ABC Books

As you can see, our class has been studying animals in Language Arts and Science these past few weeks.  One project we have been working on is making Animal ABC Books that the students are writing and illustrating.  It has been a fantastic project, and I am very proud of the work my class has produced.  Here is a small sample of what they have created.  Since I can't post pics of my class on the internet (for security purposes), I am going to try to post their work when possible to let you see some of the great things they are doing in the classroom.  I hope you enjoy!! -Mr. Linnet

Pretty great little artists, don't you think?!  We haven't finished these books yet, but after we do we hope to display them in the Library for a week or two for the rest of the school to see before we send them home.  I have no doubt that these will be cherished projects that you will want to keep and then show your child at their High School Graduation!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wishing everyone a Happy 2012! I can't wait to see you all again on January 9th. Enjoy this last week off, but get yourself ready to come back to school. We still have a lot to learn!
